Tidiness— Part 1 Report

Suggestion: Make your answer natural and concise: start with a clear topic sentence, correct grammar, avoid redundancy, and use a linking word before the contrast. Be specific about when you feel unmotivated and how a note helps. Also limit to 2–3 sentences.

Example: Yes, I generally like to keep things tidy, but sometimes I lack the motivation to clean. For example, when I feel tired after exams I often leave things messy, but if my mom reminds me with a note I usually tidy up quickly.

Suggestion: Answer directly and use past tense consistently. Give one specific example from childhood and use linking words to explain cause or contrast. Correct repetition and awkward phrasing.

Example: No, I didn't keep my room tidy as a child. I often left toys and books all over the floor, so my parents usually cleaned up for me.

Suggestion: Be specific about the actions you take and use correct vocabulary. Remove repetitions and use linking words to list actions. Keep to 2–3 sentences and avoid informal or unclear phrases.

Example: I keep my study space simple by putting books and notebooks on a shelf and placing pens in a cup. I also clear my desk at the end of each day, although I don't enjoy deep cleaning.

Suggestion: Give a clear opinion and support it with specific, coherent reasons. Use accurate vocabulary and linking words to connect ideas. Avoid unclear metaphors and grammatical errors.

Example: Yes, I think being tidy is necessary because it reduces stress and helps you find things quickly. Moreover, a clean environment can prevent illness and improve concentration.

× Yes, but there are times when I use lacking of motivation to clean up.

✓ Yes, but there are times when I lack the motivation to clean up.

The phrase 'use lacking of motivation' is incorrect. The verb 'lack' should be used directly with the noun 'motivation' (subject + lack + object). Use 'I lack the motivation' instead of 'I use lacking of motivation'. This corrects verb choice and produces a natural English structure.

× Occasionally I fell into a slum and don't feel like doing anything at all.

✓ Occasionally I fall into a slump and don't feel like doing anything at all.

'Fell' is past tense, but the speaker speaks generally about habitual occurrences, so present simple 'fall' is appropriate. Also 'slum' (a poor neighborhood) is incorrect; the intended word is 'slump' (a period of low motivation). Use present simple for habits: 'Occasionally I fall into a slump.'

× However, if my mom give me gives me a note I will definitely get it done.

✓ However, if my mom gives me a note, I will definitely get it done.

The verb must agree with the singular subject 'my mom'. Use third person singular 'gives' (adds -s) in present simple. Also remove the duplicate 'give me' and add a comma after the conditional clause for clarity.

× No, I even thought thought that I couldn't keep things tidy.

✓ No, I even thought that I couldn't keep things tidy.

The verb 'thought' is repeated erroneously. Removing the duplicate restores correct past tense usage. The sentence refers to past belief, so past tense 'thought' is correct.

× I always scatter my thoughts everywhere and my family would have to clean up after me.

✓ I always made a mess and my family had to clean up after me.

'Scatter my thoughts everywhere' is awkward because 'thoughts' aren't physically scattered in a room. For a child not keeping a room tidy, use 'made a mess'. Also maintain past reference: 'made' and 'had to' keep consistent past tense. This fixes meaning and sentence structure.

× Well, I prefer quite simple and light activity like this processing my school supplies such as book, notebooks, pencil, pencil, key to teddy.

✓ Well, I prefer quite simple and light activities like organizing my school supplies such as books, notebooks, pencils, and my key to a teddy.

Pluralize countable nouns (books, notebooks, pencils). Use 'activities' plural to match 'prefer'. 'Processing' is unnatural here; 'organizing' fits better. Also remove duplicate 'pencil' and clarify 'key to teddy' as 'my key to a teddy' though context may need 'key and a teddy' — here corrected to 'my key to a teddy' to preserve original meaning. Ensure consistent noun forms and word choice.

× But I don't like clean cleaning.

✓ But I don't like cleaning.

The phrase 'clean cleaning' duplicates and misuses the verb. Use the gerund 'cleaning' after 'like' to express dislike of the activity: 'I don't like cleaning.' Remove the extra word 'clean'.

× Yes, of course a tiny place can protect us far away, busy and incest and makes our health more better.

✓ Yes, of course a tidy place can keep us calm, reduce stress, and improve our health.

This sentence contains multiple errors and unclear words. 'Tiny place' and 'protect us far away' are incorrect; likely intended 'tidy place' and benefits like 'keep us calm' or 'reduce stress'. 'Incest' is incorrect and inappropriate — likely a misheard 'disorder' or 'incessant' but context suggests 'stress' or 'clutter'. 'More better' is a double comparative error; use 'better' alone. Rewriting to 'a tidy place can keep us calm, reduce stress, and improve our health' fixes word choice, removes incorrect terms, uses correct comparatives, and clarifies meaning.
